Our approach
Align on the “why” before “how”
Initiatives fail when they lead with logistics before purpose.
Clarify your driving purpose for teaming.
Strategic planning for phased implementation
Big changes require thoughtful, strategic consideration.
Identify the right pilot schools while laying the foundation for the long-term success and sustainability of team-based models.
Design the right conditions for teams to thrive
Successful team-based models require strong leadership, strategic scheduling, intentional staffing and a shared vision.
Design the conditions to prepare for a successful launch of team-based models.
What’s included?
System Leader Launchpad
Align your system- and school-level team implementation with year-long virtual support from a system design partner
Set strategy, build alignment and make decisions to catalyze change in your district or system. Our approach targets the high-impact levers — from human resources and finance to operations and scheduling — to ensure your implementation is not only successful, but sustainable.
School Leader Launchpad
Create an actionable plan for implementing teams at your school
Turn vision into action. Work with our team to create a comprehensive launch plan that defines your team-based model and addresses critical implementation decisions, including pilot teams, scheduling, shared rosters and collaboration structures.
Educator Team Institute
Lay the groundwork for a successful year in a team-based model
Give educator teams the tools and resources they need to start the year strong. This virtual professional learning experience creates clarity and confidence through interactive sessions, practical tools and dedicated time to collaboratively plan as a team for the year ahead.
[Educator Team Institute] was one of, if not the best, virtual trainings I have attended… Things were organized, presented clearly, and the information was invaluable. I feel very confident moving forward. I know I will have questions and more to learn, but I feel like I have the support within my team and from all of you to be successful as we pilot this model for our school. I am very excited!
